Youth Adaptation Forum Ghana
Event description
In 2025 in the lead up to COP30, the Global Center on Adaptation (GCA), in partnership with local youth organizations, will organize “African Youth Adaptation Forums” to build a network of youth engaged with adaptation and spotlight youth-led adaptation solutions.
The second Youth Adaptation Forum will be held in Accra, Ghana on 13th and 14th May 2025. It is organized by GCA, the Ghana Youth Environmental Movement (GYEM) and the University of Ghana.
The Forum will bring together together students, youth-led organizations, universities, government representatives, and adaptation experts to engage in an adaptation exchange. Young people had the opportunity to share best practices, their needs for building a climate-resilient future, as well as recommendations for governments and decision-makers.
The forum will prepare a Youth Communiqué, highlighting the needs and recommendations of young people, which will be presented at the GCA’s AAAP Partnership Forums. The results from each forum will be showcased and presented at COP30 in Brazil.
